As I’m sure you’re aware, Thanksgiving is less than a week away and everyone, self-proclaimed foodie or not, is ready to get their stomachs full and enjoy time with their friends and family.

Highlighting Where You Can Eat Out for Thanksgiving This Year
Happy Friday Foodies! As I’m sure you’re aware, Thanksgiving is less than a week away and everyone, self-proclaimed foodie or not, is ready to get their stomachs full and enjoy time with their friends and family. Though it’s tradition to cook homemade delectables during this holiday, not everyone has their feast at home.
CNN reported that according to the National Restaurant Association (NRA), about 15 million Americans eat out for the biggest meal of the year and that’s not including the additional four million people who opt for take out or our beloved fast food foodies who pig out at places such as KFC and McDonalds. In total, we’re looking at roughly 20 million or more Americans who don’t have Thanksgiving dinner at grandma’s house. So if you or someone you know is apart of that number and are unsure of where to go, below is a list of places open for business this Thanksgiving.
Price: $84, kids $40; On the menu: The three-course menu offers a selection of appetizers, including chestnut soup with black truffle croutons and a red and golden beet salad with crispy prosciutto and toasted hazelnuts. The roasted turkey entree is accompanied by sausage, sage and brioche stuffing, pommes purees with turkey jus and cranberry-orange compote; or, go non-traditional with a whole roasted branzino of beef prime rib. Sweets include a chocolate pot de creme and the restaurant’s special tarte tatin for two, with tangy creme fraiche.

Buy Yourself That King Size Candy Bar
Today is all about treating yourself! I know there comes a time where you’re at the check out line in Walmart and you look over to your left and see rows of King Size candy bars and you think to yourself, “I don’ t need this because it’s too much” and on most days, you’re absolutely right. But on this food holiday, you have a justified reason in buying that candy bar you’ve been eyeing. Why not! Go big or go home! My favorite chocolate candy bar is pictured above. I can’t resist a good Reese’s and since I’ve committed myself to have a healthier lifestyle, I’ve refrained from indulging but everyone needs a break whether it’s with a Kit Kat or a Snickers. So enjoy yourself with your favorite King Size candy.
Like most people, my favorite activity of the summer season is pulling out the old trusty grill and grilling up some tasty treats. In order to obtain that perfect grill experience all year round, you have to have the right tools. Recently, Char-Broil held a pop-up event in Columbus, GA at 11th and Bay. The pop-up event was to showcase their Gas2Coal and Tru-Infrared grills as well as their Wi-Fi enabled smokers with Smartchef technology. Trust me when I say that these aren’t your daddy’s old grills. These grills and smokers will make any skill level a grill master.

Char-Broil has been a trusted name in outdoor cooking for many years and the brand is constantly evolving and growing with today’s market. The grills featured at the event were the Gas2Coal grills and the Tru-Infrared grills. The Gas2Coal grill is truly unique. It is a two in one grill that allows the griller to go from grilling with charcoal to gas with ease. The grill features a first ever charcoal tray that is patented. The patented tray eliminates the need for lighter fluid because it allows you to light the charcoal with the gas option all by pressing a button. The Tru-Infrared grills allow the griller to cook juicy meat that is evenly cooked. While the Wi-Fi enabled smokers let even the tech savvy become outdoor cooking experts. The Digital electric Smokers feature SmartChef technology and allows the smoker to be controlled through an app on your phone. The app can be used to receive real-time updates and it can be used to control the temp and duration of the smoker.

First up, Appetizers! I figured since this particular holiday is filled with candy galore, you should try these healthy alternatives.
Ghost Fruit Kabobs
What a festive, yet healthy way to kick off a Halloween party with these Ghost Fruit Kabobs as appetizers! You can use any fruit of your choice but in this picture, there are strawberries and melons. For the marshmallows, all you need is a black food coloring marker to draw the ghost’s face and the rest is pretty straight forward. Be sure to cut up the fruit in bite size pieces, create a pattern, and follow from one in of the skewer to the next!
